Abstract
Meshed antennas have recently attracted interest for applications where optical-transparency is required [1]. For additively manufactured antennas, the conductive ink used and subsequently the cost of the antenna can be significantly reduced by meshing the antenna’s conductors and ground plane [2]. Despite their wide presence in microstrip patch antennas [3] and more recently for complex-impedance dipoles [2], wide-band coplanar waveguide (CPW) antennas have not been explored with meshed radiators or ground planes. In this paper, a 2.4 GHz monopole is designed and characterized numerically and experimentally for various mesh fill-factors, showing over 2.3 dBi measured gain for up to 93% theoretical transparency.
